Hallowen, I hope to see a dedicated thread to the torture of this equipment. My decision may rest solely in your posts... I have been debating heavily, even though I swore I would wait.... I may have to change my mind, as I want "the best" available.

The Only other component I will need soon after is the Full Board Water Blocks that I Hope Nateman_doo can adapt to the X99 Classified MB using the already available X79 Blocks he already has  in production.
 

I may know in the next few days if they will fit.  This week for sure.

For Years I have always posted my results from New Systems in this "Get it Colder" Thread.
I've been waiting for months to start on this Build and You can Bet I'll show No Mercy in testing this MB.
 
After I'm Satisfied that it operates properly Overclocking/Benchmarking with Running it on Chilled Water Cooling, Then it will be on to the Phase Change Cooling and crank up the Vcore for the CPU.

Thanks Nate, I hope there are not many changes that you have to make.

Got the MB in My Hand, Now waiting for the 5960X to arrive and Then We'll start assembling......
 

.....And Now that I have the 5960X in My Hands, It's time for the New Build to Begin!
 

Just about finished assembling and pretty soon I'll Fire Her up and Install Windows 7 Ultimate 64.....
 

It doesn't take 2 hours to install windows, we need updates!  :D

Well, I DID have to stop for a little while and feed myself and the Dog!
 
When I've got Windows and everything up and running (With No apparent Problems), I'll start messing with the BIOS and see what happens. 
I Still have 161 Windows Updates to install before I do......

Oh ok, the food thing, I can forgive that LOL  :)
 
I am just anxious to see what you can do with it.  Best I got was 4.7 in far from ideal circumstances when I had to do other things as well.
 
Honestly, I really dig the board, if I had the disposable income to grab one and an Octo I definitely would in a heartbeat, for the time being I will have to make do with my Dark and a 4930K.
